Elton John is one of music's most legendary and exciting entertainers, and after a 50+ year career the singer is ready to retire from touring.

The decision comes at an important time in Elton's life. Last year, he dealt with a potentially fatal infection, which led him to cancel shows. In 2015, John hinted at a possible retirement in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying, "I've had lots of time off with my children, and it's all got to change now that [my son] Zachary is starting school... I've got to be off when half-term comes. And I am planning on cutting down my shows to be with my children, because that's what I really love."

The only shows scheduled so far are happening in North America, beginning in September and extending to March, 2019. According to Elton's website, the world tour will include over 300 shows and cover 5 continents before ending in 2021, with many more dates to be announced. Check back here when that information becomes available.
